You know, sometimes it's just fun to go to ColorWare's site and see just how ugly we can make our favorite consumer electronics. It was while trying to find just the right shade of puce for that Cisco 7900 Series desk phone when someone pointed out that the company is now offering custom-colored Sony PS3 Slims. Color the logo, the top, the base, and up to four controllers. They'll sell you a console outright for $449, or send yours in and they'll ugly it up for $149 (controllers cost extra).

wow controllers look terrible, bad idea. next thing you know theyll have gradients
Now don't give Mad Catz any idea....
PS3, yeah great console!?
In a different color, wow, cool!
Now how about making some decent games for it!
are you serious? what about uncharted, motostorm, resistance, kill zone, little big planet, wipeout hd, gran turismo, and not to mention all the third party titles like modern warefare and everything else the xbox has.
also anyone who pays $150 just to have a colored ps3 is wasting money. i dont care if you have the money to waste, if you do...use it for something good. a ps3 just sits in your living room the public wont see it anyway, its not like a cell phone.
Hey M$, how about making a 360 w/o RRoD?
Troll feeding is not allowed in the petting area.
You have to be blind, or something, I don't know. There are loads of good games for the PS3. It looks to me like all the 360 has over the PS3 is halo, gears, and xbox live.
Wait, is it 2007 in here?

If it weren't for their Wiis not having customizable buttons, I would have gladly bought a black one from them just now.
Seriously, I wonder how many of the people writing this service off are going to do an about-face and throw their money at Nintendo, Sony, Amazon and others when they finally decide to bless (read: milk) us with different colors for their hardware.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to have a PS3 in a different color, but just don't expect any extra $$$ when you try to sell it used!
And don't expect a waranty from Sony after you get it modded.
The site's not loading for me, and I wanted to customize my G1.
Hmmph.
Or you can buy the skin for the ps3 and controller for $20 at decalgirl.com , which I did last week (got the carbon fiber skin, and they have tons of other cool skins to choose from)
it looks nice to add different colors i would paint it white or silver :). mmm its too bad they only paint solid colors and don't put like graphics.
Until controllers have matching sticks and buttons, coloured ones will never be anything but ugly. However, I think a livening-up could potentially be a good thing for the PS3 Slim itself.
I want my ps3 in a tight paisley schematic...course I am a GAY Deadhead anyone got a problem with that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
149dollars!!! Buhahahahahahaha, dam there are some serious geeks out there. It's a plastic games machine FFS!
I don't own a PS3 myself but honestly, I enjoy all gadgets and anything to make my gadget potentially prettier is lovely to me.
Besides, nothing wrong with being a geek :]
PS.... PS3 owners = benders / gays.
FACT!!!
My Selection: Mango
should be the name of a TV show about tropical spies.
Colorware has come out with some damn good creations. I thought about getting my G1 done with them. They're so damn expensive though, but if you got it why not? They're only providing a service for those who want it, there shouldn't be so much hate for them.
